About this property

Island Paradise ! Private Island Getaway

Come spoil yourself and enjoy the enchanting Southern California island lifestyle from this lovely Lido Isle residence. Newly renovated in 2023 and decorated in 2024, this 2,980 sf home is situated on a private, oversized lot, ensuring utmost comfort. The downstairs opens up to a rarely found outdoor garden and patio that includes seating, BBQ, and space perfect for outdoor entertaining, dining alfresco, or simply relaxing.

Tastefully decorated and upgraded throughout, with teracotta pavers and custom stonework, this wonderful home incorporates warmth and charm while offering the finest in beach living. The home includes 4 bedrooms - a spacious master suite with a private terrace, including sitting area, two full-queen rooms, and a fourth room with twin beds - renovated spa bathrooms, a dining, living, and family room, wet bar, and a handsomely appointed gourmet kitchen with modern appliances essential for whipping up that perfect meal.

For the active, the water is across the street, where you can swim, boat, or SUP while your children swing from the fully equipped and updated playground, or a friend can pick you and your loved ones up on the private dock! Lido Isle hosts two other private beaches, including the San Remo beach, which includes a delicious snack bar, protected swimming area, and water slide, for young and old alike! And when your fingers and toes need a break from the water, or if you are an avid Pickle Ball or tennis player, one need only walk down the strada (private walkway) just outside the backyard to find one of three private Lido Isle tennis courts. When the hunger finally sets in or it's time for grocery, surf, or clothing shopping, world-famous, waterfront restaurants and shops are just a 7 minute walk away in the Cannery and Lido Island Villages - simply breathtaking!

The island location is conveniently located minutes away from Highway 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) and the 405 San Diego Freeway, which take you south to San Diego - and Sea World! - Mexico and famous surf spots, or north to Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Carmel, and San Francisco. Just off the 73 Freeway and a mere 7 minutes drive from the home you will find Internationally-renowned South Coast Plaza, an indoor shopping mall with high-fashion retailers and restaurants, but if you are looking for a fun way to spend the day outside, but dry!, Fashion Island is Newport Beach's most famous outdoor mall and only 5 minutes south on the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway.

Laguna Beach - where the show 'The OC' was filmed! - Corona del Mar, and numerous other hidden beach gems are just past Fashion Island along Pacific Coast Highway. There, more charming boutiques and delicious restaurants and patisseries that line the coast - a must visit location just minutes away.

This Lido Isle home is truly paradise because, while you have every Southern California attraction at your fingertips, some within minutes away, at the end of your day, you cross two bridges and end up in in your lovely, tranquil, private oasis from where you can peacefully watch the sunsets, sailboats, and kayakers with a tropical delight in hand!

Luxurious Island Oasis

Booking this piece of paradise is highly recommended! After an exhaustive search of many properties, we selected this property for a very special multi-generational family vacation. (Group of 7, ages 4-77). We wanted to create closeness, but also allow for privacy, and luxury, but also to feel close to the natural surroundings. This home exceeded our highest expectations in all areas. The layout is thoughtful, with families in mind. Quality, tasteful and comfortable decor and furnishings throughout and appliances top notch. Beautifully decorated, no detail was spared. The kitchen is modern and well stocked with new, high-end appliances and the bathrooms sparkle with luxury. All towels and linens are 5 stars. In and out there are cozy nooks and places to enjoy the sea salt air while reading, entertaining, or enjoying intimate conversations. Extra touches throughout reflect pride of ownership. Optimal location for exploring all of Newport and surrounding beaches, but tucked away in a secure and safe, quiet residential area so you feel like you almost have your own private island! Owners Gigi and Nicole were responsive, and warm and really committed to ensuring we enjoyed our stay, which we all certainly did. It felt almost like borrowing a good friend's vacation home, which we plan to do, again, soon!!!

Island Paradise!

We are traveling from Provence, France. Your house is magnifique! It is a long way for us from France, but well worth the trip! The furnishings in your home were exquisite and elegant - wonderful coordinated decor. This house was even more beautiful than the pictures we see on the internet. The home was extremely clean and everything we needed. It really fit our entire family very comfortable. We spent our time on the beach, body surfing, biking, kayaking, surfing, walking, relaxing on the patio, and entertaining friends and family from France that also visited your area. We enjoyed the nearby restaurants that we walked to from the house - especially the Cannery and Sabatinos. My husband really liked the large flat screen TV in the master and I loved the quality beds and linens and fabulous kitchen. Many nights we ate dinner outside in the private enclosed patio for bar-b-que. At sunset, we enjoyed the view from the second story veranda. We had a nice and relaxed vacation and the weather was excellent. This home is in a quiet street but you are close to all the activities so we enjoyed the best of both worlds. We highly recommend this property. So much better than a hotel. No comparison. Thank you! We will visit again - Merci Beaucoup!

Wonderful family vacation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this comfortable home in a perfect location. A short bike ride to the beach, and our kids were jumping off the "Jaws" bridge! My daughter especially liked the shopping and the charm of Lido and the peninsula, within easy walking distance from the house - we walked to great cafes, the Lido theatre - and our favorite- Bear Flag for fresh sushi almost every day. We cooked lobsters and steaks, grilled outside, and enjoyed meals outdoors on the enclosed comfy patio. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped. The beds are very comfortable, as is the living room and family room. The house comes completely equipped with everything you need for the beach - toys, towels, snorkel gear, boogie boards, umbrellas & chairs, you get the idea. A spacious back yard offers plenty of room to throw a ball around and play games with the kids. Between the great shopping just a few minutes away and Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza, and the great privacy of the island, we are looking forward to coming back next summer!

Gem on Lido Island!

We stayed in this Lido Island property for our family reunion/summer holiday - all 8 of us. I have to say that the pictures on HomeAway don't do this amazing home justice! It's obvious when you walk through the door that the owner put a lot of love into the home - every finish is upscale and the decor and setting is very pristine. The house is perfect for large groups - enough space to spread out and get away if you want to. The kitchen is well stocked and each of the bedrooms had comfortable beds and pillows. If you have a NetFlix account you can sign in to watch your movies. Our kids enjoyed using the outdoor shower after long days at the beach. The house is off the beaten path - very private island. Kids enjoyed seeing the paddle boarding and kayaking which is right next to the property and also renting duffy boats. We had a blast on the gondola rides which reminded us of Venice. Our favorite restaurant, steps off the island was the Bear Flag Fish- great seafood at reasonable prices. Place your order at the counter, then go grab a seat at one of the picnic tables outside or inside at the sushi counter. The owner exceeded our expectations and is a really nice. All emails were answered quickly, met us at the house when we arrived, and was available during our stay via text. If you're thinking about staying here and see that it's available - BOOK IT - you'll have a stay you'll never forget.

Gorgeous clean beach family vacation rental!

This property is a gem, nestled among other beautiful homes on Lido Island. Ideal for a family, it's just across the street from a private beach and playground for the kids and adults can take advantage of the docks and SUP rentals. In addition to the upstairs master BR, there are three other BRs that share a Jack and Jill bath and nice shower. Of course, the master BR has its own large bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and an attached cedar closet. The bathroom heater was especially welcome on a chilly November morning. We've stayed in many vacation rental homes but this one was the most immaculately clean that I've ever seen. There was not one spot of dust on any surface. The spaces are comfortable and very nicely decorated. The linens are first-rate, too. Most importantly the owner was very responsive to all emails and questions. She answered every email, phone call or text within minutes and made sure we all had the best time. Will definitely be back and have already referred family and friends! Thanks again!

Fabulous Location!

Location, location, location. This home is in the best place - we could walk to restaurants, the beach, kayaking. My family was in heaven! The pictures don't do it justice. Great spot for relaxing and enjoying what Newport has to offer. Recommending this property to all our friends!

Magical vacation in paradise

This summer we decided to stay along the coast in Newport Beach and ended up finding a real gem! The property we chose is on an island, with ALL imaginable recreational sports just a block from the house. The property had a great, large enclosed patio for dining al fresco, and the house itself was impeccable, down to the last detail. We have 3 kids, so we were able to enjoy all the various amenities provided by the owners including beach toys, umbrellas, and many other goodies left for our use. The kids were either at one of the 2 beaches on the island, or they were kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing, etc. - very tired by the end of the day! We did not want for anything - including snorkel gear! We had an absolutely wonderful time and would recommend this for a vacation to everyone wanting to stay in Southern California. We definitely give this property a 5 star rating!!!

Beautiful Home and Perfect Location

There are many things that make this a great property: (1) Location - across the street from the beach; within walking distance of surf/kayak, duffy boat rentals, gondola boat rides and many shops; close to Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza for incredible shopping and dining. (2) Patio - we loved the beautiful, large, enclosed patio; it was the perfect place to sit, read, enjoy, and grill. (3) Beaches - 2 private beaches on the island - one for the kids and one for adults AND kids - with a great water slide (4) Owners - The whole family isabsolutely the BEST. They all work hard to make sure her property is well-maintained and that visitors are happy. There is care and concern for visitors that is genuine. We would highly recommend this property for a relaxing, safe and comfortable holiday vacation! We wish we could have stayed longer!

Pristine House and Property!

We were visiting Orange County for my brothers wedding. We had a lot of people coming from all over the United States, especially a large group of us from Chicago. We figured we would come early, enjoy the weather in Newport Beach and get situated before the 375 person wedding we had ahead of us. We came across this place on VRBO, and it was probably the best thing we could have done! The propety owner, is a gem! She was always available to help us if we had any questions. She was very patient and accomodating! I am so grateful that we were able to work with her and not a random property manager. Now that I have mentioned how wonderful she is, let me get started on the HOUSE!!! We had 4 couples that stayed in this house, while all the others stayed in hotels... majority of the time they were at this beach house enjoying the view and people watching. The house is adorable, has a garage, washer and dryer, kitchen, everything you need to feel at home! The view of the images on this sight do no justice, it is absolutely breathtaking! The house is spotless, beds are comfortable and the patio was very nice and large and private, and we were abe to sit out and have breakfast/lunch and dinner. We plan on coming to visit Newport Beach next year because my brother and his wife are expecting and we hope that this place is available again, to rent. You will have no regrets renting this beautiful beach house! Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Beautiful Island Family Home

Hi, my wife and I stayed at this beautiful home located on Lido Isle in Newport Beach, Ca. We wanted a large house, located close to all the entertainment parks and beaches, that we wanted to take our young grand kids to see. This is that home! Easy access to all by freeway, but great to come back to and live as a family - in truly a home away from home. Secure and safe for our young grand kids; and so quiet at night that you hear no noises whatsoever. We made the right choice and you will too. The pictures do not do this incredible home justice - you have to how see just how beautiful this home is and what a great location this is. We told the owners we'd love to return! Enjoy!

Great Family Vacation Property!!!

This property was exactly as seen in the photos. We found the description accurate and the amenities, location, and home were absolutely perfect! For us, as an extended family, it had just the right accommodations with the four bedrooms. We did quite a bit of grilling on the bbq, so the large, enclosed patio was fabulous. The other thing that we quite enjoyed was all the great water sports we could do together with our kids that were located right at the entrance to the island. The shopping and dining was outstanding, within minutes of the property, and our favorite was the movie theatre within walking distance and the Starbucks right by it. If you want an island paradise, close to incredible beaches (2 private beaches right on the island for the young kids and the older kids), and close to great shopping malls and California attractions, this is the place!. We can't wait to get back!

Beautiful home with awesome back yard!

This property was great to stay for a month that was needed for my family. Staying here for the month of May was a gorgeous time of the year and my family will always remember the memories we shared on this island vacation. We were able to walk to everything we enjoyed. The beach, restaurants, movie theater and shops were all within walking distance. We will definitely refer to family and friends and hope to visit again on our future extended vacation.

Island Paradise at its best!!!

This island property was the perfect retreat for our spring break! Arriving from cold weather on the east coast, Lido Isle was just the vacation we needed. The house has every amenity for guests - beach chairs, coolers, beach towels, bicycles, umbrellas, etc. The house is super clean, with much care and attention given to the small details always with high end quality touches (the linens, towels, comfortable beds). With our size family, we especially liked the large, private backyard with bar-b-que and lots of seating because we did search for beach properties with enclosed backyards and mostly came up with decks that were either on the boardwalk with NO privacy, or decks that you could see your neighbors to the left and to the right....if you like relaxing and entertaining, this is the place for you! Also, if you like to walk, within walking distance is a movie theatre, dozens of restaurants, and of course the private beaches on Lido, as well as, Newport Beach proper.... without the noise and crowds! We can't wait to return and have recommended this property to our friends and family. Thank you for a great stay!

AMAZING Southern California Gem

My husband, kids (4 boys) and I stayed at this gorgeous and quaint Newport Beach villa and could not be more happy that we did. The property, itself, was spotless and warm all at the same time. It is very open with a ton of natural lighting and all updated fixtures and appliances. We were really amazed how the owner was able to blend the authentic, romantic, Tuscan villa style with modern advantages, i.e. electric stove, subzero fridge, AC, flat screen t.v.'s, etc. Each room was generously sized and furnished with everything you could want, from plush beds to clean, organized closet space and bureaus. In addition to the impeccable, comfortable home, which features a GORGEOUS patio and garden, including dining area and bbq that you just want to lounge in all day - oh! and a deck of the master bedroom with its own sunset seating area - the house is located on Lido Island which has several private beaches within 5 minutes walking distance (if that). This was IDEAL for us with our 4 kids because it was effortless to get to a gorgeous private beach with swimming, slides, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards. What was even better is that the area is SAFE so that the kids could walk down to Newport Beach, surf, swim, or ride bikes on the boardwalk, or walk to ice cream and a movie at the Lido Theatre and we didn't have to worry about them. There are also a ton of shops and dining options walking distance or only a few minutes drive, from Huntington Beach to Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach, which was nice for my husband and I to get away for a romantic evening or two :) Which brings me to my next point - the owner/manager (who helped us find a babysitter for these special nights). The owner/manager was great - super responsive, thoughtful, and informative - and very considerate. She thought of everything, from beach chairs to tennis rackets and balls to robes in the bathrooms! The whole experience was superb - fun, relaxing, and enchanting. We will definitely come back and have recommended it to all of our friends. We can't wait to return! Thank you, again!!

Perfect Island-Chic Relaxing Getaway!!

My husband and I decided to get away from the Chicago winter in January and make a trek out West - stayed for a MONTH! And it wasn't enough! We've heard of Lido Isle as a quaint and relaxing little island, close to everything like bars and shopping AND THE BEACH! And boy was it everything and more! Activities: We were able to go stand-up paddle boarding just a walk from the house. We took a duffy boat out just right off the island and drank champagne and watched the sun set! We went to Disneyland with my niece and nephew who flew in for a few days!! Of course, went to the beach! It was cool in January, but still a spectacular west-coast sunset with surfers at the shore. At the House: We had BBQs in the backyard with another couple that joined us for some of the stay. The house is so nice and welcoming, plenty of room to read a great book. I sat on the balcony and read my book while the sun set... my husband drank some beers and had a nice nap. Neighborhood: There were Christmas lights still up, and I hear around Christmas (the week before) there is a Boat Parade - hopefully we will come back next year to see that!!! All the boats are supposed to be lit up. Fashion Island - were able to see the gigantic Christmas tree and shop at Neimens, Bloomies, Nordstrom, Z Gallerie, and more! Lido Village - we had some wine at the wine store in there (forget the name!) and had Greek Food on the bay. Shopped at the Lido Drug Store and got some sea-shell goodies. THE HOME: Covered in beach goodies, seashells, paintings, posters, and perfect furniture for the beach theme. I wish I could buy some of the artwork in there! (The owner, Sil, let us know that she makes them herself! We are going to be ordering some for our bedroom and guest bathroom!) Big bedrooms, plenty of room for all our guests. And an AMAZING Master Suite. I don't want to say this because I don't want you to steal it from us, but... YOU HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT! It was Perfect!!! You will for sure enjoy it!!! We sure did!
